"由於全球暖化的問題持續未見趨緩，氣溫上升引起海洋暖化的現象日益嚴重。全球溫暖化造成極地冰原融化、引起全球海平面上升、淹沒沿海陸地、衝擊沿海地區，並造成全球氣候變遷，導致異常的暴雨、洪水與乾旱現象。台灣每年遭受數個颱風的侵襲，氣候變遷對生態體系與水土資源保育等都造成很大的傷害。過去以來，東海南緣海域的浮游動物研究都侷限在小範圍，對於全面性的一次性調查相當少見。氣候變遷對海洋生物的衝擊更是亟待研究。有鑑於浮游動物扮演生態系食物網中傳遞能量與物質之重要角色。本研究擬從2015 年8 月到2017 年7 月期間，針對東海南緣沿岸水域進行浮游動物的採樣調查，並同時進行水文資料收集與分析。結合全球暖化現象，探討氣候變遷對東海南緣沿岸水域浮游動物群聚結構的衝擊。暖化的海水可能攜帶來更多暖水性的熱帶性種類，對於台灣既有的沿岸物種造成入侵性的衝擊。透過研究，預期可以發現季節、年度間浮游動物群聚結構改變的現象。並瞭解浮游動物豐度在暖化氣候下的衝擊。" "The ocean temperature increase caused by global warming has been a serious issue in past few decades. Global warming is causing the melting of polar ice, rising global sea level, flooding in coastal area, impacting coastal regions and causing global climate change. These resulted in abnormal heavy rains, floods and drought. Taiwan has been suffered by the invasion of several typhoons each year. These climate changes caused much damage on ecosystems. In past decades, research on zooplankton was mainly strictly limited in regional waters such as in waters of southern East China Sea. Here we propose a comprehensive survey in this subject in a large scale oceanic samplings. The impact of climate change on marine life becomes an urgent research topic. Zooplankton plays an important role to transfer of energy and matter in the food web of ecosystems. This study is planning to sample zooplankton and simultaneously collects hydrographic parameters in waters of southern East China Sea during the period of August 2015-July 2017. The integrated study of global warming affecting the zooplankton assemblages in southern East China Sea will be evaluated in the present research. Global warming may cause the transportation of tropical invasive species to the southern East China Sea. This may cause huge impact on local species in coastal waters of Taiwan. This will be the objective of our study in the present proposal."
